Ladies and Gentlemen:

Lexmark International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several Underwriters listed in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you are acting as representatives (the “Representatives”), $400,000,000 principal amount of its 5.125% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued pursuant to a Senior Indenture to be dated as of March 4, 2013 (the “Senior Indenture”) between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a Supplemental Indenture to be dated as of March 4, 2013 (the “Supplemental Indenture”) between the Company, the Trustee and the initial paying agent and security registrar, Citibank, N.A. (the Senior Indenture together with the Supplemental Indenture, are referred to herein as the “Indenture”).

The Company hereby confirms its agreement with the several Underwriters concerning the purchase and sale of the Securities, as follows:

1. Registration Statement. The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-186255), including a prospectus, relating to the Securities. Such registration statement, as amended at the time it becomes effective, including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C under the Securities Act to be part of the registration statement at the time of its effectiveness (“Rule 430 Information”), is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement”; and as used herein, the term “Preliminary Prospectus” means each prospectus included in such registration statement (and

any amendments thereto) before it becomes effective, any prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(a) under the Securities Act and the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time of its effectiveness that omits Rule 430 Information, and the term “Prospectus” means the prospectus in the form first used (or made available upon request of purchasers pursuant to Rule 173 under the Securities Act) in connection with confirmation of sales of the Securities. If the Company has filed an abbreviated registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (the “Rule 462 Registration Statement”), then any reference herein to the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include such Rule 462 Registration Statement. Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities Act, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of such Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and any reference to “amend”, “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after such date under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

At or prior to the time when sales of the Securities were first made (the “Time of Sale”), the Company had prepared the following information (collectively with the information referred to in the next succeeding clause, the “Time of Sale Information”): a Preliminary Prospectus dated February 27, 2013, and each “free-writing prospectus” (as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act) listed on Annex B hereto as constituting part of the Time of Sale Information.

(f) Ongoing Compliance. If during the Prospectus Delivery Period (i) any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading or (ii) it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with law, the Company will immediately notify the Underwriters thereof and forthwith prepare and, subject to paragraph (c) above, file with the Commission and furnish to the Underwriters and to such dealers as the Representatives may designate, such amendments or supplements to the Prospectus as may be necessary so that the statements in the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances existing when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the Prospectus will comply with law

(g) Blue Sky Compliance. The Company will qualify the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives shall reasonably request and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for distribution of the Securities; provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (ii) file any general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not otherwise so subject.

7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable outside counsel legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any

claim asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of, or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, not misleading, (ii) or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information (or any part thereof), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein.

(b) Indemnification of the Company. Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Time of Sale Information, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the following: (i) the information in the last paragraph of the cover page of the Prospectus Supplement regarding the delivery of the Securities; (ii) the marketing names of the Underwriters on the cover page of the Prospectus Supplement; (iii) the information in the third paragraph of text under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus Supplement concerning the offering price and selling terms; and (iv) the information in the seventh paragraph of text under the caption “Underwriting” in the Prospectus Supplement concerning stabilization and other transactions.

(c) Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided, that, the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under this Section 7 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Section 7. If any such proceeding shall be

brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person (who shall not, without the consent of the Indemnified Person, be counsel to the Indemnifying Person) to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7 that the Indemnifying Party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC and any such separate firm for the Company, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Securities and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) Limitation on Liability. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter with respect to the offering of the Securities exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

(f) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

8. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

9. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on the New York Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representatives, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

10. Defaulting Underwriter.

(a) If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Securities by other persons satisfactory to the Company on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Securities on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Company may postpone the Closing Date for up to five full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Company or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Company agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not listed in Schedule 1 hereto that, pursuant to this Section 10, purchases Securities that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Company as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of the Company, except that the Company will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 11 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter of any liability it may have to the Company or any non-defaulting Underwriter for damages caused by its default.

11. Payment of Expenses.

(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, the Company will pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, (i) the costs incident to the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and delivery of the Securities and any taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and filing under the Securities Act of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) and the distribution thereof; (iii) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (iv) the fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent accountants; (v) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration or qualification and determination of eligibility for investment of the Securities under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including the related fees and expenses of counsel for the Underwriters); (vi) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any paying agent (including related fees and expenses of any counsel to such parties); (viii) all expenses and application fees incurred in connection with any filing with, and clearance of the offering by, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.; and (ix) all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any “road show” presentation to potential investors; and (x) all expenses and application fees related to the listing of the Securities on the Exchange, if any.

(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9, (ii) the Company for any reason fails to tender the Securities for delivery to the Underwriters or (iii) the Company fails to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in Section 6, the Company agrees to reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the offering contemplated hereby.

RE:

Underwriting Agreement in connection with the Issue and Sale by Lexmark International, Inc. of an aggregate principal amount of $[ ] of [ ]% Senior Notes due 20[ ].

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for Lexmark International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the purchase from the Company of an aggregate principal amount of $[ ]of [ ]% Senior Notes due 20[ ] (the “Securities”) contemplated in that certain Underwriting Agreement, dated as of [March [ ]], 2013 (the “Agreement”), made by and among the Company and you, as Representatives of the several Underwriters named in Schedule 1 thereto. This opinion letter is furnished to you at the request of the Company and pursuant to Section 6(g) of the Underwriting Agreement. Unless otherwise defined, capitalized terms used in this letter shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Underwriting Agreement.

We have assumed, for purposes of the opinions expressed herein, the legal capacity of all natural persons executing documents, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all original and certified documents and the conformity to original, or certified copies, of all copies submitted to us as reproduced or electronically transmitted copies. For purposes of the opinions expressed herein, we also have assumed that each of the Company, each Underwriter and the Trustee has duly authorized, executed and delivered the documents to which each is a party, and that such documents are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of each of the aforementioned parties. You have not asked us to express, and we do not herein express, any opinion as to the application of any federal or state law or regulation as to the authority of the Underwriters or the Trustee.

As to any facts relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon both certificates of public officials and certificates and representations of officers, or other representatives, of the Company and, in respect of such certificates and representations, we, and you, are justified in relying upon the same. With your permission, all assumptions and statements of reliance herein have been made without any independent investigation, inquiry or verification on our part, and we express no opinion with respect to the subject matter or accuracy of the assumptions or items upon which we have relied.

A-1-1

We have examined such documents, records and matters of law as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of expressing the opinions herein. Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and limitations specified herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act that has been filed with the Commission not earlier than three years prior to the date of the Agreement; each of the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus was filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) and (5), respectively, under the Securities Act on [February [27] and [28]], 2013, respectively; and, to the best of our knowledge, no order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued, no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of such Registration Statement has been received by the Company and no proceeding for that purpose or pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act against the Company or in connection with the offering is pending or, to the best of our knowledge, threatened by the Commission.

2. The Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus included in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus (other than (a) the financial statements and related schedules thereto, including the notes thereto and the independent registered public accounting firm’s report thereon, (b) the other financial and accounting data that is included or incorporated by reference therein, and (c) the documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto made by the Company prior to the Closing Date, in each case as to which we express no opinion) appear on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Indenture complies as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act.

3. Each Transaction Document conforms in all material respects to the summary descriptions thereof contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

4. The descriptions of statutes, legal, governmental and regulatory proceedings and contracts and other documents in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus are accurate in all material respects; the statements in the Preliminary Prospectus and Prospectus under the heading “Material U.S. federal income tax considerations,” and incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus from Item 3 of Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, to the extent that they constitute summaries of matters of law or regulation or legal conclusions, fairly summarize the matters described therein in all material respects;

5. To the best of our knowledge, (A) there are no current or pending legal, governmental or regulatory actions, suits or proceedings that are required under the Securities Act to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus and that are not so described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus and (B) there are no statutes, regulations or contracts and other documents that are required under the Securities Act to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement or described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus

A-1-2

and that have not been so filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement or described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus.

6. The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, will not be an “investment company” or an entity “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

7. The documents incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement thereto made by the Company prior to the Closing Date (other than (a) the financial statements and related schedules thereto, including the notes thereto and the independent registered public accounting firm’s report thereon, and (b) the other financial and accounting data that is included or incorporated by reference therein, in each case as to which we express no opinion), when they became effective or were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, appeared on their face to be appropriately responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act.

We have participated in conferences with representatives of the Company, representatives of its independent registered public accounting firm and representatives of the Underwriters at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, and related matters were discussed. We have not participated in the preparation of the documents incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, however, we have reviewed such documents. We have not independently verified and are not passing upon, and do not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the Prospectus except as set forth above, and then, only insofar as such information relates to the opinions expressed by us in those paragraphs. However, nothing has come to our attention to cause us to believe that the Registration Statement, at the time of its effective date (including the information, if any, deemed pursuant to Rule 430A, 430B or 430C to be part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness but excluding that part of the Registration Statement that constitutes the Statement of Eligibility and Qualification of the Trustee (Form T-1)), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, that the Time of Sale Information, at the Time of Sale (the date of the Underwriting Agreement), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or that the Prospectus, as of its date and the Closing Date, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (other than (a) the financial statements and related schedules thereto, including the notes thereto and the independent registered public accounting firm’s report thereon, and (b) the other financial and accounting data that is included or incorporated by reference therein, in each case as to which we express no belief).

In basing the opinions and other matters set forth herein on “our best knowledge,” the words “our best knowledge” signify that, in the course of our representation of the Company, no information has come to our attention that would give us actual knowledge or actual notice that any such opinions or other matters are not accurate or that any of the documents, certificates,

A-1-3

reports or information on which we have relied are not accurate or complete. The words “our best knowledge” and similar language used herein are intended to be limited to the current actual knowledge of the lawyers of our firm who have given substantive attention to legal matters for the Company, including, without limitation, in connection with the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

This opinion is subject to the following further assumptions, qualifications and limitations:

a. This opinion is limited to the federal laws of United States as currently in effect, and we express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction on the opinions expressed herein.

b. This opinion is limited to the matters expressly stated herein, and no opinion is implied by, or may be inferred from, the matters expressly stated herein.

This opinion is effective only as of the date first set forth above and furnished to you, by us, as counsel for the Company, solely for your benefit and solely with respect to the purchase of the Securities by the Underwriters. In furnishing this opinion to you, as limited above, we are not hereby assuming any professional responsibility to any other person whatsoever and we disavow any obligation to update this opinion or advise you of any changes in this opinion in the event of changes in applicable laws or facts or if additional or newly discovered information is brought to our attention. Furthermore, no assurances can be given that future legislation, judicial or administrative changes, on either a prospective or retrospective basis, would not adversely affect the accuracy of the opinions stated herein. This opinion is provided to you as a legal opinion only and not as a guarantee or warranty of the matters discussed herein or discussed in the documents referred to herein, and may not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to by you for any other purpose, or by any other person for any purpose, without our express prior written consent. However, any recipient of this opinion is free to disclose the tax treatment or tax structure of any transaction described herein.

Form of Opinion of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Esq.

(-) Each of the Company and LITSA has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of organization, with power and authority (corporate and other), to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the Prospectus or the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 incorporated by reference therein (the “Form 10-K”).

(-) Each of the Company and LITSA has been duly qualified as a foreign corporation for the transaction of business and is in good standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases properties or conducts any business so as to require such qualification, except where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(-) The Company has an authorized capitalization as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information and the Prospectus, and, except as otherwise described in the Prospectus, all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable; all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of LITSA have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable and (except for directors’ qualifying shares, if any) are owned directly or indirectly by the Company.

(-) To the best of my knowledge and other than as set forth or contemplated in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Information, and the Prospectus or in the Form 10-K, there are no legal, governmental or regulatory investigations, actions, suits or proceedings pending to which the Company or LITSA is a party or to which any property of the Company or LITSA is the subject which, if determined adversely to the Company or LITSA, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(-) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

(-) The Notes have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer and, when they have been duly authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered to and paid for by the Underwriters in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Issuer entitled to the benefits provided by the Indenture and enforceable in accordance with their terms and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, subject as to enforcement, to the Enforceability Exceptions.

(-) The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee pursuant

A-2-1

thereto constitutes a valid and legally binding instrument of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

(-) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents, the issuance and sale by the Company of the Notes, the performance by the Company of all of its obligations under the Notes, the Indenture and the Underwriting Agreement and the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other material agreement or instrument known to me to which the Company or any subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any subsidiary is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any subsidiary is subject, except for violations or defaults which individually or in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse Effect; nor will any such action result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of the Company or any subsidiary or any applicable law or statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or any subsidiary or any of their respective properties.

(-) No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or governmental or regulatory authority is required for the issue and sale of the Notes or the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement or the Indenture, except such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, licenses, registrations or qualifications as have been obtained under the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act or state securities or Blue Sky laws.

Conflicts of Interest		As described in “Use of Proceeds,” we intend to use a portion of the net proceeds of this offering to redeem our 5.90% Senior Notes due 2013. In addition, we may use net proceeds of this offering to repay other debt, including any amounts that may be outstanding under our $350 million five year revolving credit facility that matures in 2017. Because a portion of the net proceeds of this offering, not including underwriting compensation, may be received by certain of the underwriters or their affiliates, to the extent any one underwriter, together with its affiliates, receives more than 5% of the net proceeds, such underwriter would be deemed to have a “conflict of interest” with us in regard to this offering under FINRA Rule 5121. Accordingly, this offering will be made in compliance with applicable provisions of FINRA Rule 5121. In addition, any underwriter that has a conflict of interest will not confirm sales to any account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior written consent of the account holder.

The issuer has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents the issuer has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the issuer and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting XXXXX on the SEC Web site at xxx.xxx.xxx. Alternatively, the issuer, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus if you request it by calling X.X.
